Anyone Skate Mini Ramps?

I just started skating down in the Frisco skate park.  They have like 3 foot, 4 foot and 6 foot pipes.  Ive never really done it, but Ive been having a blast.  It hurts to move from falling so much, but its still way fun to do.  Sorry, I know its kind of a waste of a thread, but I just watched cheese and crackers again, and Im super stoked on minis.

Anyone else feel this way?

Do it man.  It brings me back to when I was first learning park on skis.  Just totally irrational fear and adrenaline, and the pain to go with it, but that great kind of pain where your entire body just aches.

Mini ramps are fun to skate. I like to skate I'm just not really good at tricks and stuff but I can drop in and ride some bowls and such. Its fun to just mess around and ride transitions

yeah exactly.  I learned rock to fakies, and axle stalls on the 3 ft, and its just super fun to pump and kick turn the 6.  Ill work my way up eventually haha

i wish i had a mini around here. little 3 footers are super fun. i used to ride them all the time in highschool because i suck at street skating. i've worked my way up to 7 and 8 foot drop ins. the bowl i skate is only 7.5 feet, but just pumping around the transitions is an addicting feeling. im almost 22 now, and i still cant do much more than the rocks, axle stalls, and 5050s on mini ramps that i learned like 6 years ago haha. it's so easy to work up to bigger ramps from the 3 footers. within a couple hours of my first drop in on a 3, i was ready for 4 footers. next day 5, etc. now i can skate them whenever. my first drop in this summer was that 7.5 bowl, and it was like riding a bike. no need to work up to it. damn, now i really wanna skate too.

went out again today... got my rocks to fakie and half cab to rocks on lock and my axles are almost there.  This is way addicting, but its awesome that I found something to do till the mountains open.  Fuck work! haha

Yes! all I skate is pipe. I only skate things with transition, boo street skating.

besides, I think kidney bowls are less scary than kickflips.
